Description-en: Perl interface for manipulating ar archives
Archive::Ar is a pure-perl way to handle standard ar archives.
.
This is useful if you have those types of old archives on the system,
but it is also useful because .deb packages for the Debian distribution
are ar archives. This is one building block in a future chain of
modules to build, manipulate, extract, and test Debian modules with no
platform or architecture dependence.
.
You may notice that the API to Archive::Ar is similar to Archive::Tar, and
this was done intentionally to keep similarity between the Archive::*
modules.
